“Mike Hankinson was born in Great Britain and lives in South Africa, but this LP was produced in the United States. This record is the first lp ever recorded using only the Electronic Music Studios “Synthi” VCS-3. This instrument has the capability of producing virtually any sound, but was used purely as a straight musical instrument on this L.P. The only modification – a potentiometer control was added, which gave a sliding octave up or down, by rotating the control, thus extending the keyboard to 5 octaves.”
